How Denver International Airport Will Benefit
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) received $1.1 billion of stimulus
money to distribute to the nation’s airports. The maximum amount for
any single project was $15 million, with up to $20 million allowed to a single
airport sponsor (the owner of the airport, such as a city or an independent
airport authority).

Denver International Airport received a total of $12 million for two projects.

Denver International Airport will direct $7 million of the stimulus money
toward habilitation of Runway 17L/35R. This project has a total cost of $12.9
million, and will take about three months to complete. David Rhodes,
deputy manager of aviation/planning and development, said DIA will use other
funds to make up the balance of the of the project cost. The project involves
replacement of deteriorated concrete panels on the 12,000-foot runway and its
associated taxiways.

DIA also was awarded $5 million of stimulus money for new drains and expansion
joints on the ramp area between the concourses.

In all, the stimulus-backed construction projects are expected to employ 105
workers at DIA.
